"The Second Time" is the first single from English singer Kim Wilde's fourth studio album, Teases & Dares (1984). In North America, the song was re-named "Go for It". The track was Wilde's first release through MCA Records. Her last few releases on her original label had failed to make an impact commercially, but this one returned her to the charts of several European countries, peaking at number 29 on the UK Singles Chart. It also marked her second chart entry on the US Billboard Hot 100, where it peaked at number 65. The B-side, "Lovers on a Beach" (an exclusive non-album track), was extended for the 12-inch single in some nations.
Critical reception
In a September 1984 review Vici MacDonald of Smash Hits noticed that Ricky and Marty Wilde "always manage to build a classic little pop song around Kim's vulnerable falsetto" but bearing in mind the secondary nature of such material she summarised "I’ve got most of her singles, but it's a sad fact that they were all found in bargain bins."[3]
